Facts speak louder than statistics

This isn't an opinion on gay marriage, it's an observation. Some are saying
that allowing gay marriage is the start of the proverbial slippery slope where
other things such as multiple partners or marrying pets will be accepted. Then
the things we have to accept will get more and more bizarre and in turn cause
bulk harm to our societies.

If people
are concerned then maybe it’s time they became more active in their
communities, more active politically and more vigilant instead of going with
the standard response which is actually quite useless and has never achieved anything
realistic whatsoever.

And what is
the standard response when politicians and other known figures do something
that appears to be bad? It is to call them fools and pretend that’s achieved something
and then do nothing else.

Fools or not
these people are doing things many do not like and they are all getting away
with it since calling them fools doesn’t actually stop them. They
don’t care what you think of them, only that they can keep doing what they want
without any real opposition. Calling someone a fool is really just a
meaningless act.

And now let’s
look at how the U.S. Supreme Court gay marriage ruling affects Australia. Quite
simply It doesn’t, it affects the U.S. It may be something our own courts can
refer to but outside of that it means nothing.

For those who support gay marriage here, a suggestion that this country is
out of step with the rest of the world is not a reason to adopt it here. The
only reason something like that should be allowed is if it’s the right thing
for this country and something like that is not decided for us by another country
otherwise we’ll find ourselves obliged to adopt everything else from that
country and the gay marriage advocates might not like some of the things we end
up with.

In other
words make the case for Australia. What other countries are doing, what year it
is or cries of homophobia are not justifications for it. If you can’t put
forward a case that doesn’t rely on mentioning those things then you don’t have
a case.
